What is sure to be one of the hottest new restaurants/clubs in town, LAVO, finally celebrated its grand opening last night with a packed house and a wild party to start things off right. The 180-seat Italian restaurant which boasts tradition fare and specialties like Kobe beef meatballs, is owned by Marc Packer and Noah Tepperberg who also own TAO and LAVO LasVegas. For other restaurant owners out there: the invitations that LAVO sent out for the opening were on an engraved marble tile. Take that other fancy restaurants!

Last night on the eighth floor of Saks Fifth Avenue, guests converged on the Sergio Rossi Shoe Lounge so celebrate Fashion's Night Out and the premiere of a couple new shoe models. Creative Director  and shoemaker, Francesco Russo was on hand along with rock princesses Alexandra and Theodora Richards, who offered a little bit of fashion advice to FNO shoppers. Other draws at the event were the appearance of two exclusively signed Sergio Rossi shoes—the over-the-knee Chelsea boot, which made its debut Tuesday on the FNO runway at Lincoln Center, and the stunning peep-toe stiletto Cachet. It was a shoe lover’s ultimate chance to indulge, and all against the backdrop of fresh beats spun by DJ and Vogue.com photographer Rachel Chandler.

Dasha Zhukova, editor-in-chief of Pop magazine, threw one of the "it" parties to be at last night at Don Hill's that featured a performance by Iggy Pop. Guests, including Chloe Sevigny, Adrian Grenier, Gavin Rossdale and Gwen Stefani, went out in true fashion, mixing edge and "hip" that defined the majority of the crowd. And as is the case with all Iggy Pop performances, last nights was as disturbingly beautiful and exciting as the rest. He's basically that man preserved in amber. Other guests included Leigh Lezark, Nicky Hilton and Becka Diamond.

Mr. West is in the BUUUIIIIILDING! That is right ladies and gentlemen. Hip hop sensation, twitter ranter, award show crashing, fashion forward producer Kanye West sat front and center for 3.1 Phillip Lim men's 2011 spring/summer show. Rockin' shades and a casual suit, Kanye enjoyed the styles of Lim who states the inspiration as "The boys being part bourgeoisie, part rugged. They have swagger, but they are beautiful." Hearing the inspiration for the show you have to understand the appeal for West, who is all those things. Well, the beautiful part is up for you to decide, but he seems to have a pretty good following.

PMC photographer Clint Spaulding was backstage at the BCBG Max Azria show, Friday afternoon, catching the first glimpses of his spring 2011 collection. His flowing gowns ranged in color from grays and blacks to mustard and rose, many involving a sheer overlay. The Tunisian-designer whose styles have made him an international powerhouse lives and designs according to the French phrase "bon chic, bon genre," (BCBG) meaning "good style, good attitude." His show once again showed his strengths as a designer and proved why he has won so many awards over the years from the California Designer of the Year (1995) to the 2008 Fashion Excellence Award at the 33rd Annual Dallas Fashion Awards.
